18 If you serve Christ in this way, you will please God and be respected by people.
19 We should try to live at peace and help each other have a strong faith.
20 Don't let your appetite destroy what God has done. All foods are fit to eat, but it is wrong to cause problems for others by what you eat.
21 It is best not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything else that causes problems for other followers of the Lord.
22 What you believe about these things should be kept between you and God. You are fortunate, if your actions don't make you have doubts.
23 But if you do have doubts about what you eat, you are going against your beliefs. And you know that is wrong, because anything you do against your beliefs is sin.
